Got a crick in my neck and have to go see the chiroquackter...

Funny, we had to put the bike on its side because the wiring ties in the previous picture where on their side as well, Josh could not figure out how to attach them to the bike without having the first put the bike on its side.

Thanks Rinty, how are you? Yes, North Hollywood did the Speedo for the bike. Definately unveiling this spring, Josh will put some miles on it, to make sure everything is sorted and then I am going on a vacation with my family to California in June and I will meet Josh for the first time, spend the afternoon with him and the bike and then he will ship it back to North Dakota, getting very excited. Thanks for always following my projects, you are the best.

Shane, just an observation with regard to your "cable adjusters" and touching them up with a wire/polishing wheel ... I did this on my /5. Regretfully, the cadmium plating on them is not very thick; the wheel essentially removes it and they begin rusting almost immediately... :-/

Thanks for the help, much appreciated, I think Josh is replacing all of them or is sending them out to be refinished, he found a place that is going to redo them, I will pass along, nice to hear from you.
